The Barber's Nook 2

It's a bit out of the way but it's worth the trip to see Mr. Flattop himself. Paul is one of only three military barbers in MA, and he's very practiced at his craft. My dad has gotten a few nice tight horseshoes from Paul, and I've seen him perfect many longer, squarer ones as well. Also great at other military cuts. The shop has a very old-school feel as well.

I've visited Mr. Flattop as well, when I used to live in the area. Paul had a great flattop himself, which is generally a good sign that a barber knows how to cut them. I personally did not get the best flattops I've ever had here. My hair is strongly wavy, and not the easiest to cut in a short flattop. But I've had other barbers who did a really outstanding job at making my hair as level and square as possible. My flattops here were ok. If you live in the area, and don't know of another option nearby, I would go here without reservation.

I can definitely corroborate the review of the shop. It's old school, with nice chairs, old military uniforms on loan from clients, and nice pictures on the wall (including a few flattops).
